Kelly completed two co-op experiences.
Kelly Brunemann,
Cincinnati, Ohio
The computer engineering degree combines the software from computer science with the hardware of electrical engineering to provide engineering students with the education needed to design and develop embedded computer applications. It includes networks, embedded systems, robotics, and industrial automation.
The computer engineering curriculum at UE features:
Project based. All students participate in numerous competition projects such as the fire fighting robot, the autonomous GPS lawn mower, the IEEE autonomous vehicle contest, and many others.
Small class sizes. A typical computer engineering class will have 6 to 15 students.
Professional degree. With a BS in computer engineering, graduates are prepared for a position in industry or may continue on to graduate school in computer engineering, computer science, or electrical engineering.
Starting salaries. Starting salaries for computer engineers are among the highest of all college majors.
Dedicated faculty. The faculty in computer engineering are dedicated to undergraduate education. Classes are taught by faculty members, not graduate students.
Employment opportunities. The demand for computer engineers is strong and will likely remain strong for the foreseeable future.
Accreditation. The UE Computer Engineering degree is the only ABET accredited computer engineering degree in southern Indiana.
You'll have the opportunity to study abroad and still graduate in four years. Computer engineering majors may choose to spend the first term of their sophomore year at Harlaxton College, our campus in Gratham, England. We are the only EAC-ABET accredited Computer Engineering program in southern Indiana.
